PFF ranks Allen Robinson as a top-10 pending free agent

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson has been labeled as one of 2018’s top pending free agents by a variety of sports outlets this offseason. We can now include Pro Football Focus in that mix as they listed Robinson at the No. 8 spot on their list. In a nutshell, they raved about his deep threat abilities, which were severely missed by the Jags this season.

8. Allen Robinson, WR

2017 Grade: 71.7

Robinson was lost for the 2017 season after he tore his ACL on just his third snap of the year, so he will consequently hit free agency without the kind of leverage that he’d been hoping for… Wherever he ends up, Robinson has proved that he can produce as a game-changing deep threat, evidenced by his stellar 2015 campaign, where he racked up a colossal 672 receiving yards from passes of 20 or more yards downfield, the most ever recorded by PFF.

The ACL tear that Robinson sustained Week 1 against the Texans, of course, complicated things in terms of his contract talks. However, he told the Florida Times-Union he’ll be 100 percent relatively soon and is looking forward to bouncing back.

As for his pending free agent status, hardly ever do good wide receivers hit the market. Depending on what happens with Blake Bortles it would seem Robinson will either be franchised or the Jags may come to a one-year deal for him to prove himself.
